cracked dash

[spo0587]

Hey guys, bad news. It was hot today, and this happened either yesterday or today. The temp has been in the mid 80s here at Mississippi State. Today I got into my truck and noticed a 1.5 inch crack in the center of the passengers dash. I caught it out of the corner of my eye. Is there anything I can do to stop the spread of the crack? I never used conditioning wipes, just a damp rag to clean it. Replacing it not an option for now due to cost. I don't even want to know how much it will cost to replace.

There is a very thin area on the dash pad where the passenger air bag is located. Have seen this posted before. Probably best to replace the entire pad.

I have a two foot crack in my dash! (car was parked in FL sun for 6 months) it hasnt grown since I found it though.

should i not worry about it? It is right where the airbag is. i may get the dealers opinion, but i really can't afford to get it fixed, and i don't think it will effect the airbag system. Correct me if i am wrong? it is hairline, again pics coming tomorrow

Re: pics

That isn't opened up at all. I bet that is repairable. Maybe get a recommendation at the dealer.

Looks like a hairline crack (unnoticeable). Maybe you can put some type of glue and let it sit then wipe off/remove the excess. Just my 2 cents.
